We met Kelly after crushing onher gorgeous twin nursery. It turns out that this talented lady knows a little something about style and fashion as well! Her blog, Oh Hello Mommyhood, is overflowing with sweet reads on the things Kelly adores, fantastic resources, and valuable bits of advice.

Oh thank you! I really love fashion and design, so blogging ideas about maternity wear has been really fun for me. Mommyhood is certainly a new world for me, and I wanted to make sure I didn't forget how to be cute while my twinsie belly grew.

I also felt like soon-to-be mommies don't have a ton of options when it comes to fashion, although that is starting to change thanks to designers like Nicole Ritchie and—one of my favorites—The Hatch Collection. They have really great choices, but some of the pieces are more expensive than others. I wanted to find reasonably priced great maternity wear and then share my finds with others.

Would you tell us a bit about your personal style and how you maintained it during your pregnancy?

My personal style is bohemian-meets-preppy. I love a great pair of jeans and a vintage top or an easy, flowy, slip-on dress that I can wear over and over. I think with each trimester it got a little more challenging to find key pieces. I found a few by scouring my favorite websites that also offer maternity clothes. I got some on-trend items as well as some vintage items that never go out of style. Most vintage flowy tops actually can be worn even when you're not pregnant.

What pieces of clothing did you grow to love during your pregnancy? What are the items you just couldn't live without?

Believe it or not, I really liked more form-fitting styles that hugged the belly in the first and second trimester. I thought for sure I would want to wear bigger clothing, but it was fun to show off the bump once I started to show. Being pregnant is incredibly beautiful, after all, even when you feel "big." As I neared the end of my pregnancy, the bigger, more flowy tops just felt better. Tight, restrictive pieces were no longer an option.

As for what I couldn't live without, I realized pretty quickly that I couldn't fit in any of my regular jeans or shorts, so I needed a great pair of denim shorts and a good pair of jeans. I went the expensive route and bought Paige jeans; however, they were way too low to wear, so I ended up buying a pair of Sevens that I literally lived in. I also couldn't live without basics. I bought a ton of T-shirts in many colors and tank tops for the Los Angeles heat. That way, I felt comfortable every day and could reach into my dresser knowing that whatever I pulled out was going to be easy and would fit.

We believe that accessories can really boost a maternity outfit. Whether it is a great bag or a fantastic pair of boots, non-maternity items that pull outfits together can keep a style current. What are your go-to accessories?

I have to be honest: I'm not a big accessories girl. I have the simplest elegant earrings by Ippolita that I wear every day and that work with everything, and I have a few necklaces that I switch every so often.

I like to wear fun shoes (gold loafers are my current obsession), but my feet swelled up when I was pregnant so I couldn't fit in my shoes at the end.

Toward the end, I wore thin belts to show off the bump more if my dresses were too big and frumpy.

Other than that, I tried not to fuss about what other things to put with my outfits. I just focused on a few good pieces like dresses and tops to wear, and I felt complete.

If you had to share two rules for keeping things stylish while pregnant, what would they be?

1. You can wear non-pregnancy clothing! In my first and second trimester, I bought things from J.Crew, Zara, The Gap. I just bought them a few sizes bigger than what I would normally wear to fit the belly. All the pieces were on trend, and I felt like I fit in with the rest of the world.

2. Find pieces that showcase your best features. The one area that didn't get "big" was my legs, so I wore dresses that were not too short but that showed off what I felt was my best feature. That way, I still felt beautiful.

How about two fashion mistakes to avoid while pregnant?

1. Wearing frumpy clothing. We already feel heavier and heavier as the months go by, so skip the frump. It only makes you look bigger than you really are.

2. Not spending money for maternity clothing. I understand the need to not spend a ton on maternity wear since you'll be wearing it for only nine months. However, how often do you buy pieces for a season and never wear them again when you're not pregnant? Invest in some nice pieces for yourself—you deserve it! A nice black dress, the perfect pair of jeans. These are things you will wear so many times that spending a little extra is well worth it.

Could you share some of your best-kept secrets for bargain maternity style?

I often find really great things on Etsy, especially at Down Home Honey (you have to keep checking periodically as she updates quite often). I also love Adored Vintage—this site has beautiful "going out" pieces.

For everyday stuff, my favorite places to shop for maternity are Topshop and ASOS. These sites have some very reasonable prices and adorable dresses, pants, tops, and accessories. I can't tell you how many times people have asked where I got something and my answer was either ASOS or Topshop.

What are your thoughts on incorporating vintage or even secondhand pieces into a maternity wardrobe?

It's a must. Vintage is classic and adds so much character to your wardrobe. At least half of what I wore during my pregnancy was vintage.

Because I live in Los Angeles, it was summer really the whole time. However, each season was roughly a trimester.

Spring was pretty easy. I wasn't showing yet, so I could wear a lot of my regular pieces except jeans and jean shorts.

Then summer hit, and so did the second trimester. This was when I took advantage of the summer dresses and easy slip-on shoes like strappy sandals. I also bought maternity white jeans that went with everything! In addition, I bought some bathing suits from The Gap in a few sizes so I could grow into them. Living in California means a lot of beach time and pool time, so I'm in my swimsuit a ton. Easy cover-ups were key as well. On date nights with the husband, I wore pieces from ASOS. Their summer dresses are adorable and hugged in the right places.

By the time fall began, I was in the thick of my third trimester. It was still too hot outside to jump into the sweaters and adorable trousers that were out, so I stuck to my basics and flowy vintage tops to keep me comfortable and cool. I even stole my husband's button-down work shirts and wore those with jeans.

Kelly McKee Zajfen is a wife and mommy of twins living in sunny Los Angeles, California. Before mommyhood, she stomped down the runways for some of the most amazing designers such as Oscar de La Renta, Giorgio Armani, and Diane Von Furstenberg. She decided to take a little detour into Early Childhood Education and then grad school studying Social Work. However, life took her on a new adventure: mommyhood. Kelly and her husband were not surprised to learn that they were expecting a new addition to the family, but they were very surprised to learn that there would be two new additions to the family. Thus, grad school will have to wait. Kelly has been spending her time focusing on her little boy and girl—the best gifts of love.

At least they are for me, an intense lover of fashion who has worked very hard to get back down to my pre-pregnancy body weight—maybe even a pound or two less—after having twins.

You see, I am convinced that it's time for me to retire and possibly burn ALL of my bikinis. This comes after a lot of careful consideration.

I have come to realize that, even though I have returned to my "fighting weight," my body will never be what it was. My stomach bears the visible scars and stretched skin that accompanies carrying twins. I've consulted doctors, and the only way to correct it is surgery—the "mommy makeover"—and I'm not ready to do that. Well, at least not today.

But even if I did do it, I am not so sure I would instantly put on a bikini.

You see, as I have moved into the world of one pieces, I have kind of fallen in love with them. They are classy and sophisticated. And the modern cutout one pieces, which I adore, can add edge while still keeping me looking my age.

I think deep down I have evolved past the bikini, past those years of my life.

I don't see myself anymore as that beach kid rolling up to the ocean in my bikini, cut-off shorts, and old skool Vans. I see myself as a mother who might prefer a one piece for its practicality while wrangling her twins in the pool. I see myself as a caring and solid friend to simply fantastic women in their 30s who lie poolside together once a year sipping cocktails and wearing hats protecting our precious skin from the sun.

I will always and forever cherish my bikini years.

But I am very much looking forward to my one piece years. I expect these years to be filled with growing children, amazing friendships, and more love and laughter than I could have ever hoped for during my bikini days.

It’s bathing suit season! If you’re pregnant, you might be scratching your head and thinking, “How am I going to pull this one off?” It’s not as hard as you think. Like all things maternity, you just need to stick to your own signature style. And you have to know where to look.

While we have come a long way in maternity dressing, swimwear is an area that is still sadly lacking. A recent trip to Target’s maternity section serves as a case in point. Almost every suit was a black tank style with a brightly colored floral pattern. There were rows of them. And they were all terrible. This does not need to be.

The style that’s right for you depends on both your pre-pregnancy swimwear preferences and your pregnancy stage.

If you are newly pregnant, you can absolutely get away with wearing your favorite existing bathing suits. Especially handy are string bikinis that are adjustable to wear low on your belly and to give you some extra latitude for your growing bust.

If you are showing a lot, we love the tankini. There are some beautiful silhouettes available that are so much more flattering than your standard tank suit. Choosing a strapless or halter style accentuates femininity, whereas spaghetti straps have a sportier feel. Of course, if you are ultra-comfortable with your pregnant physique, you can rock a teeny tiny bikini and show off your big belly to the world like some of our friends in Hollywood like to do.

As with all things maternity, we love solids for bathing suits. Any color that you feel good in is the way to go. Bright colors like yellow, fuchsia, and emerald green are festive for the summer season. Black, navy, chocolate, and charcoal are always slimming and flattering.

If you are up for it, patterns can be a stylish way to mix things up. When it comes to patterns, it is often best to go with a season's trend, such as a modern chevron. Remember to heed caution when purchasing patterns, though, as some can end up looking oddly juvenile or elderly in the way that only maternity clothes can.

This gorgeous suit fromA Pea in the Pod is the perfect example of a pattern done right.

Some of our favorite resources for great, basic maternity swimwear areGap Maternityand Old Navy Maternity.Both have a nice assortment of affordable, flattering styles that are sold separately as tops and bottoms so that you can ensure a perfect fit.Tip:They sell out immediately and are not sold year-round, so stock up while the getting’s good.

One last thing: A good self-tanner makes every maternity swimsuit look just a little bit better. A great one to try is Neutrogena Build-a-Tan. No streaking, no orange tones. It covers a multitude of pregnancy skin problems like spider and varicose veins, bruising, and cellulite.

Pregnant celebrities are constantly splashed across the pages of today's tabloid magazines. It seems almost impossible not to take in at least one new celeb "bump watch" each week. So The Twin Source has decided to dedicate a top 5 list to the best-dressed baby bumps from New York to L.A. We will update the list periodically and keep each previous list so you can track pregnancy style's evolution.

We promise to never have a "worst dressed" list, even though at times we have cringed upon seeing an amazing actress wearing a maternity outfit that could double as a potato sack. We have all been there: We have been in these women's shoes (well, okay, not their exact Jimmy Choos), and we know well the struggle to stay stylish while feeling as big as a house. So we will always focus on the positive and on who is rocking their pregnancy style.

Celebrity Pregnancy Style: Winter 2013

1. Kate Middleton. We fully expect the Duchess of Cambridge to be at the top of this list until the heir is born. There is no doubt she will be dressed in a timeless way from head to toe for events ranging from London outings to official royal engagements.

2. Penelope Cruz. Though photos are just beginning to surface, this on-screen siren is already taking our breath away.

4. Malin Akerman. The great thing about Malin is that she pulls off the hot trends ... pregnant. It's pretty amazing that she can pair worn-out jean shorts with the perfect top one day and the next evening rock a cocktail dress in a great cut and totally "it" color.

5. Kim Kardashian. It must be said that it is difficult for us to include any of the K clan on our list, as the jury is still out as to whether they are bona fide celebrities. But the fact is, Miss Kardashian's maternity fashion choices have been very solid.

Like almost all things pregnancy-related, your maternity wardrobe is temporary. So, you probably don't want to spend lots of time and money shopping for and buying clothes you will use for only a short time. Good news—now you don't have to! In true what-will-they-come-up-with-next style, a helpful new solution has popped up in maternity fashion: rentable clothing.

Using the model first popularized in high-end handbag rentals, this service allows you to rent maternity clothing for a short time to fulfill your wardrobe needs. That means you don't have to invest permanently in clothing meant to get you through just a season. What a brilliant concept!

Inevitably, you will find yourself nine months pregnant and in need of a formal gown that you don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for to wear one time. Now you can simply go online and rent one for a fraction of the price, then send it back when you're finished.

Our favorite iswww.rentmaternitywear.com. This site got it right. It focuses mainly on formal wear, which makes sense since these are the pieces in your wardrobe that will cost the most money and will get the least wear. And, the site has all the elements needed for a great online shopping experience:

An easy-to-use site.You can search by price, occasion (baby shower, cocktail party, date night, or wedding), their favorites, and newest arrivals. Or you can choose to view the entire collection.

Beautiful pieces.This site does a fantastic job choosing the dresses available for rental, basically vetting all existing maternity formal wear for you. This feature alone is a compelling reason to use the site!

Helpful visuals.When you're shopping for special occasion outfits online, you want to be able to see everything. This site has great photographs and clear details for every piece.

Awesome policies.Customers are treated with respect and compassion. The site creators know that without trying on a dress during the crazy, body-morphing days of pregnancy, you won't know how it will look or fit. That's why they let you rent an extra size at no additional cost. And, they refund your money if you aren't happy with your rental.

Great guarantees.Your dress will either be brand-new or have been rented only once previously, and it arrives in pristine condition.

Pregnancy and post-pregnancy can bring the best of times and the worst of times when it comes to your hair and skin. Enjoy the changes you like, and try to remember that the less-than-desirable changes are usually only temporary.

Hair Highs and Lows

During pregnancy, you may discover that your hair has never looked or felt better. You might also notice that you aren't shedding as much hair. This is great news (especially for those of us with thin hair) because it means thicker, stronger hair. When I was pregnant with twins, I loved my hair. It was thick and shiny, and it grew very quickly. Because of this, I took the opportunity to finally grow my hair long.

If you color your hair regularly, you will want to ask your OB/GYN about continuing with color during your pregnancy. My opinion as a hairstylist is to wait until your second trimester. (That's what I did.) By that time, your nose won't be as sensitive to the smells and your scalp won't be as sensitive to the chemicals. If you can't live with the gray or dark roots and decide to color your hair, do not wash it on the day of your service—this will allow your natural oils to work as a protective barrier on your scalp.

Other hair color options include highlights and semi-permanent color. With highlights, the only thing you need to worry about is sensitivity to smell (since the product does not come in contact with your scalp). A semi-permanent color has no ammonia and therefore will not have a strong smell or cause any sensitivity on your skin.

Now for the bad news: You probably won't be too happy with your hair post-pregnancy. Remember how you weren't shedding much hair while you were pregnant? Well, all the hair that didn't fall out then may fall out after you have the babies. (On average, we shed about a hundred strands a day!)

Most women will start to shed either soon after delivery or a month or two after they stop breast-feeding. During this time, make sure you are getting regular trims. This will keep your hair looking healthy, and you can pick up some styling tips and products from your hairstylist. I started shedding a lot of hair when my twin girls were about 8 months old. My hair began looking stringy and dull, so I cut it short and loved the change!

Skin Secrets

Every pregnancy is different. Some women will break out more, while others will just glow. I have been pregnant three times and have experienced both ends of the spectrum. My advice is to drink plenty of water. This will help you in many ways during pregnancy, but it will be especially helpful in maintaining healthy skin.

If you are using any acne medication on your skin, be sure to talk to your doctor about it. You might have to put it on hold for a while. If you're lucky, you might find that during pregnancy your skin is much better anyway!

Waxing while you are pregnant can be tricky. Your skin is much more sensitive, so be sure to go to a professional. Ask your aesthetician to do a test patch to make sure your skin can handle it. You might experience more sensitivity and in some cases bruising. For my first pregnancy, I had my bikini area waxed a week before delivery—it was not a pretty sight, not to mention very painful. For my next pregnancy, I just shaved (well, with help).

Some women will find that they develop dark spots on their face during pregnancy. Sometimes there is no avoiding the spots—they are just another side effect of your raging hormones. But you may be able to minimize them by avoiding sun exposure. I can't stress enough how important it is to use sunblock every day. If you are going to be outside, protect your skin and especially your face by wearing a hat in addition to using sunblock. When I was pregnant, I used a sunblock with an SPF of at least 30. You'll be pleased to know that those dark spots will usually go away post-pregnancy.

Building your maternity wardrobe can be daunting, and we want to take the stress away! Here are The Twin Source’s maternity wardrobe must-haves:

White button-down shirt. The ultimate in classic dressing, this crisp and clean piece brings a polished look to any ensemble.

Black turtleneck. A little sophistication goes a long way, especially during pregnancy. And, a nice slimming black all the way to your neck is great when you’re feeling bigger than you’d like.

Premium denim. Worth the splurge, this is the only designer piece we recommend investing in. The cut and the denim treatment found in the premium lines (such as 7 for all Mankind, Citizens of Humanity, and Hudson) really do make a difference in creating a flattering fit. The style is up to you—boot cut, skinny, capri, etc.—but go for the good stuff when it comes to maternity jeans.

Black leggings. The must-have of must-haves. You will wear these with everything, from the earliest days of your pregnancy right through your post-partum stage. Flattering, comfortable, and up-to-date.

Black pants. Because they can be worn to work or on date night, a nice pair of black pants will be a foundational piece in your maternity wardrobe just as they are in your regular one. Focus on fit and quality.

Long-sleeve tees. These great layering pieces bring a sense of balance to your wardrobe. Wear them alone with jeans or under ponchos or vests. Buy tees that are cotton blended with spandex or Lycra so they will stretch as your body grows but will also hold their shape.

Hanes tank tops. These white, ribbed, men’s tank tops are sold in packs of six for about $5 at your superstore. Wear them with everything, under everything, at all times. So comfy, so long, so durable. Perfection, pregnant or not.

Long sweater. Invest in one really great long (from mid-thigh to knee length) sweater that you love in basic black or gray. Throw it on over leggings with great flats or boots for a perfect look with almost zero effort.

Maxi dresses. If you live in a warm climate or are pregnant during the summer months, the maxi dress will be your new best friend. It’s a one-piece outfit that is cool in the heat and covers you all the way to your toes.

Cute PJs. It’s amazing how much time you spend in your pajamas right after your babies are born, and especially if you are on bed rest beforehand. Having cheerful, cozy, and comfortable pajamas can really help your morale in unexpected ways. We love the old-fashioned style of pants with a button-down shirt—great for breast-feeding and yet modest enough for visitors.

Accessories. Paying attention to accessorizing is the best way to look great during your pregnancy. Three accessories we love: belts, scarves, and wedge shoes. Adding belts to otherwise shapeless shirts and dresses shows off your belly and makes for a very flattering silhouette. Scarves draw attention to your face and away from your lower body. They also create a sense of scale, which can help make your very big belly look more proportionate to the rest of your body. Wedges are super-stylish while also very comfortable, and they add height without testing your balance.

The pregnancy glow is truly wonderful. It is generally attributed to increased blood volume just underneath the skin resulting in a dewy blush at times. No one would ever complain about that!

Some unwanted skin surprises are:

Acne.No one likes acne, particularly in adulthood. The worst thing about the acne is that it appears not only on your face but also on other parts of your body. You can expect to find it on your back and sometimes your chest—and even other places where you never thought your pores could be clogged. Here are a few simple suggestions for getting your skin under control:

When showering, shampoo and condition your hair first, then wash your body with soap. The chemicals and moisturizers in shampoo and conditioner can seep into your skin if they are not washed away thoroughly. (This can result especially in that dreaded "bacne.") So take care of your hair first and then scrub your body well!

For blemishes, purchase an inexpensive over-the-counter acne cream from your local drugstore—nothing too fancy, just something drying that you can apply to spots as necessary. Make sure the product contains benzoyl peroxide to help keep the acne from coming back. We also recommend dabbing just a bit of the cream on the most oil-prone areas of your face nightly.

Use a toner twice a day. This will help clean your pores and leave your face feeling fresh. Just put a few drops on a cotton ball and then apply it all over your face. We recommend applying toner to your chest as well if acne is appearing there.

Change your moisturizer if necessary. If you use a very heavy daily cream, you might want to lighten up on the amount you use or even skip a day here or there to balance out your natural oils.

Pigment changes.You might notice changes in your skin tone resembling sun spots, or you might see moles you have had all your life lightening or darkening at random. Both of these changes are common, and your skin generally will even out post-pregnancy. In the meantime, you might want to make one of these solutions part of your beauty regimen:

Use a light foundation to smooth out your face, neck, and even chest, followed by a light powder.

If you aren't a foundation type of girl, remember it is okay to use your concealer in places other than under your eyes and on a pesky zit. Apply concealer to sun spots or moles and then blend it into your skin.

Your Hair and Nails

Expect a lot of growth in these two areas. Your hair will grow faster than it ever has before, and your nails will be strong and look the best they ever have. Even if you are happy with these changes, maintenance should still be a key part of your beauty regimen:

Schedule haircuts regularly, even if only to trim the ends.

Think twice about cutting your hair in any drastic way or going for a radical new style during pregnancy. We at The Twin Source know from experience that the reaction you have if it does not turn out how you envisioned can be highly emotional, thanks to your raging hormones. Besides, every other part of your body is growing or changing during pregnancy; it’s nice to keep at least one thing constant.

Cut and file your nails regularly. Remember, very long nails are considered by some to be a hotbed for bacteria, and you don’t want to get sick while you are pregnant or expose your newborns to unwanted germs.

Check with your doctor about hair coloring. Most of us here at The Twin Source maintained our hair as we always have after getting the go-ahead from our doctors. Generally speaking, unless you are going for a Marilyn Monroe bleach blonde style every few weeks, you and your babies should have nothing to worry about.

Whether this is your first pregnancy or your fourth, whether you’re having one baby or three, and regardless of your age, job, and location—all moms-to-be sometimes need help, inspiration, or encouragement when it comes to the question of what to wear.

In this section, we will provide answers and guidance by doing the dirty work for you! You will find a list ofMust-Have Maternity Wear that will get you started on your basic maternity wardrobe and keep you looking great as you grow—all without breaking the bank. You can also access simple tips to make the most of what you already own so that you can keep your signature style throughout your pregnancy and post-partum days. And, you’ll get a peek into The Twin Source staff wardrobes and personal maternity clothes solutions, complete with pictures and shopping resources for every occasion, to see how we navigate the same challenges you do.

We want you to look amazing and feel great about yourself during your entire pregnancy!

Never does the what-am-I-going-to-wear dilemma come into play more than when you are pregnant. Your body is changing before your very eyes in ways you didn’t think possible. Things that used to look good—or should look good, or would have looked good—now don’t. Maternity retail shops are overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time. And for a lot of us, the sticker shock we suffer as we shop for this mandatory yet temporary clothing throws our omnipresent nausea into overdrive.

Maternity clothes have taken a big step forward in style and modernity over the past decade. A lot of it started with designer Liz Lange and her approach to making maternity clothes look like regular clothes. However, even now, with endless resources for moms-to-be, maternity wear can still be mystifying. And sorry, Liz, but your line for Target leaves a lot to be desired with its ill-fitting sizing and general un-cuteness. Even celebrities with limitless budgets fall prey to bad maternity wear choices.

But there is hope! You are not doomed to 10 months of paneled slacks and printed empire-waste tops. Here are some tips to keep looking great during your pregnancy without investing your unborn babies’ college fund in maternity clothing:

Look like yourself. This sounds obvious, but sometimes women end up walking out of maternity boutiques with things they would not usually buy. Choose things that you would wear when you aren’t pregnant. Stores like The Gap and Old Navy are great resources for basic, cool maternity clothing that you can tweak to your own style.

Keep it simple. Nothing looks more perfect on a pregnant woman than her husband’s oxford shirt with the sleeves rolled up, black leggings, great boots or flats, some cool earrings, and fresh lip gloss. How easy was that?

Focus on fit. This is the hardest part. Because your body is always changing (love Gwyneth Paltrow’s comment about her pregnant body being like something on Discovery Channel), the fit of your clothes is always changing. But, it is the most important thing to pay attention to. If your favorite long-sleeve tee suddenly starts exposing the elastic on your jeans, it’s probably time to stop wearing it solo. You’ll never look your best if you’re constantly struggling with clothes that won’t stay up (too-big maternity pants) or down (too-small maternity shirts).

Stick to solids. Whether you need a bathing suit or a ball gown, solids are usually a safe maternity bet. Not everyone would agree, as is evident by the endless amount of geometrics, graphics, and florals printed on everything labeled maternity, but solid-colored pieces are generally a good choice for everyone. Think a black turtleneck and great dark jeans paired with fabulous bracelets, shoes, etc.

Splurge on premium denim. If you want to splurge on something, denim is the place to do it. Premium jeans really do make a difference in fit and appearance, and they will be your go-to look for much of your pregnancy (oh, and probably for a lot of your post-partum days too, but no one ever mentions that part, do they?). Citizens of Humanity, 7 for All Mankind, Hudson, Paige Premium, True Religion, and J Brand all make awesome maternity jeans. Go for dark bootcut or dark skinny and you won’t be sorry. EBay is a great market for getting these goods at seriously discounted prices.

Pay attention to accessories and grooming. A little extra time spent on these areas goes a long way in completing your pregnancy look. The addition of a statement necklace will make an otherwise-boring tee look custom. And sometimes applying a little more eye makeup or blush, or spending a few more minutes flat-ironing your hair, will give you just the extra polish you need.

Remember these two words: Forever 21. (Or Forever 31, as we like to call it around here!) This store is a fabulous source for inexpensive, almost disposable clothes that effortlessly double as maternity wear. Look for maxi dresses, tunics, and leggings—the trifecta of modern maternity dressing.
